Can Paraffin handle deprecated components? ( I.e. when a file disapears from
the directory link a 0 byte file and set the transitive bit with a NOOP
condition instead of removing the component element ).
I need this feature in any tool that I use so that minor uprades will
properly remove obsolete files.

Hello,
As you all know, Tallow for WiX 2.0 can be a bit, how shall we say it,
troublesome. :) I developed a better tool, PARAFFIN, which creates an
easier to use WiX fragment and also handles updating the WiX fragment as
files are added and removed from your directories. It's turned the hours
and hours of manual WiX fragment editing down to minutes a day for me. I
thought you all might find it useful. (Note that using PARAFFIN can
break component rules so be careful.)
Here's the links to the discussion and the code:

Please let me know if you find any bugs or have feature requests.
Hope it's helpful!
